You guys might want to check out a brand made in japan for it's domestic cars. It's called ENOS. Really good oil that is used by a lot of tuner guys.

I use mobil1 0W40 in the srt 10, and plain conventional mobil 10W30 in the yaris(free oil changes at dealer for life).

Amsoil eao09 filter with amsoil 0w20 works amazing in the cold weather, now only if the battery worked as well.

I use Mobile 1. If it comes as a factory fill on Corvettes than it is good enough for my Camaro and Yaris

Heh, heh GID, right you are.
Mobil, Bose, Dunkin Doghnuts, Flat screen LCD HDTVs, Bailouts, Toyotas - Americans have quickly become a bunch of ignorant zombies - the lemming effect! Question EVERYTHING! Time for a resurgence of the SKEPTIC philosphy - gee maybe I could start a Skeptic religion and get a tax break...

wow the Amsoil site says under normal wear to go 25,000 miles between OC... I was worried about going the full 5000 with Mobile 1... been changing it at 3000 (like me ol' grandpappy did) since I bought my car. (call me wasteful, call me old fashioned, call me a tool of Mobile 1s marketing department, but I usualy try to err on the side of caution)

Just changed my oil today. Amsoil XL 5W-20 extended life sythetic, and a Hastings filter. Can't wait to get out and run about now.

I was so stoked to find these for sale at my local car joint -- I didn't realize he was an Amsoil dealer. I actually went there because I thought he was a WIX dealer. Turned out he wasn't but had Amsoil instead. I love when the universe balances out.

if mods can do anything , that would be cool

if not, i guess by posting and/or voting for "other" would do

once again, sorry. so many legions of Amsoil users!
